Original Features
Extended Lease
Grade II Listed
This triplex penthouse retains many original features including mahogany staircase, Brooke Marine kitchen with stainless steel worktops and a white bathroom suite. The 6th floor has a south facing reception room with full height double glazed sliding doors leading to a balcony, with a similar arrangement in the kitchen/dining area. Stairs lead to the large studio bedroom with a barrel vaulted ceiling and door leading to a generous roof terrace (not demised). Although north facing, much of the terrace receives sun in the summer months making it a lovely place to sit. Shade loving plants thrive here too. The current owner loves the generous wall space for displaying artwork throughout the flat.
Ben Jonson House is the longest terrace on the estate, named after the actor and playwright Ben Jonson, who lived for some years in the parish of Cripplegate. It has an active house group and a friendly community of neighbours.
Residents benefit from the use of communal gardens including a Wildlife Garden, 24hr concierge, parking, secure bike cage, and stores available to rent from the Corporation of London. Weekday refuse collection from your door and background heating and window cleaning are included in the service charge.
The wonderful facilities of the Barbican Centre are just minutes away, the huge Conservatory, Art Galleries, Concert hall, Theatres, Cinemas and restaurants are all on the doorstep. The Guildhall School of Music and Drama also has more Theatres and a Concert hall. The popular Barbican Library and Music Library are in the complex too.
The lively Whitecross street market, with it's local shopping centre and popular Waitrose are accessed from the end of the block. Further afield the shopping centre at Old Street has several popular high street chains. There are more shops including a M&S clothing store at Moorgate and more again at Cheapside near St.Paul's.
